The Illustrated Ape magazine




Art directed by 'Stripped' curator Jason Atomic & Honey Manko the new issue of The Illustrated Ape magazine is currently in production.

Not seen since the collapse of Borders bookshop, Ape returns this year as a limited edition, small-press publication and will launch with an exhibition at Orbital Comics in the first week of Dec 2012.


The magazine will come in a printed paper bag and will be accompanied by a 24 track CD "Torchsongs & Fire Hoses" written and performed by Christian David with music composed by Noko (of Apollo 440, Luxuria and Magazine fame).

Ape will be printed with old-fashioned stencil duplicator technology in black and red on white,
 at Hurst Street Studios (which print Radiohead's limited edition record sleeves). 

Printing in 2 colours on this machine requires that 2 separate pieces of artwork be created for each page and that each page to be fed through the machine twice.

Scott Jason Smith

This gives the pages a delightfully nostalgic slightly off-register effect.

The majority of the magazine will be a comic section, with each track of "Torchsongs & Fire Hoses" illustrated by a different artist from a variety of disciplines (fine art, comix, fashion, music, tattoo etc..)
